Sounds like a promising DO... who can drink the most and do the most nothing. I think we'll need Butler Service to deliver nuestros tragos to the beachside palapa. I'm willing to take a +2 drink handicap if we can stage it in Barbados. I doubt it would be fair to others without the handicap, as I have terrorized the fine proprietors of the Mount Gay distillery on too many occasions.

I'm really looking forward to those Jim Thompson silk throw pillows.

I think Claudio was on my EZE-IAH flight because they played the Portuguese safety video instead of Espanol.

Morning Box

I'm off to TPA tomorrow for a few daze to do some apartment hunting... found a nice way to start the trip off in my mailbox this morning:

You've been upgraded from Cleveland, OH (CLE) to Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL (TPA) on Wed., Jun. 17, 2009. Your new seat is 3F. Below is a recap of your flight information:
Mr. UnkFrank
OnePass/Partner Frequent Flyer: ********
Continental Confirmation Number: ********

Wed., Jun. 17, 2009
Continental flight 1405
Depart 8:50 a.m. from Cleveland, OH (CLE)
Arrives 11:17 a.m. into Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL (TPA)

Yes, it's my first ^ I know it's not much, but it's the thought that counts

Marvel at the shiny surfaces, swoon at the fact that things are actually cleaned, revel in the stunning manner the staff acknowledges your existence and actually tries to accommodate your needs. C'est magnifique!

TPA really is in an alternate universe. Even the TSA people are nice.

The St. Regis SIN is a Cat 5; I could have sworn that just a couple of weeks ago, it was listed as a Cat 6.

I flew into and out of TPA a lot 1995-1997. Has it been renovated since then? I don't remember the airport experience to be all that great.

I was only to STL twice, but the TSA folks there were very nice. I guess overwhelming bureaucracy couldn't stamp out good ole fashioned mid-western politeness.

The passenger experience is, IMO, one of the best possible domestically.
